Are per capita CO2 emissions increasing among OECD countries? A test of trends and breaks
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-17, 23:11 authored by Satoshi YamazakiSatoshi Yamazaki, Jing TianJing Tian, Doko Tchatoka, SWe empirically analyse the trend characteristics of per capita CO2 emissions in OECD countries from 1971 to 2009. We use a statistically robust procedure, which is valid regardless of whether per capita CO2 emissions are trend stationary or contain a stochastic trend, to test for the presence of a deterministic trend and a structural break in the trend. Our results suggest that the trend in per capita CO2 emissions shifts downward or is reversed for a number of OECD countries either after the 1970s oil shocks or during the early- to mid-2000s.
